The VC25 is an expensive plane to run, however, and the PAG (Presidential Airlift Group) prides itself on saying that the two airframes spend more time in maintenance than in the air, so just jinking around the skies doesn't seem to be well advised unless there is a plan.
What tradition is that? I knew two and both flew for two presidents.
Anyone know how long it took President Trump or Obama to get their first trip in AF1?
Yup. On their Inauguration Day! Hahahahaha!
Okay, but seriously, outside of that, I’m not sure. Obama’s “First Trip in AF1” is documented as Inauguration Day while he was still President-Elect.
Trump’s first trip on AF1 was Jan 26, 2017.

Sauce, please?
Yeah you don't get to fly THOSE aircraft while still needing "hours."
Thats not normal.
As Punisher1963 says, yes -- but not as AF1.
